Carbon Disulfide → Carbamodithioic acid, bis(phenylmethyl)-, sodium salt

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of 8.0 g. (0.2 mole) of sodium hydroxide in 32 ml of water was added 39.4 g. (0.2 mole) of dibenzyl amine. The mixture was cooled to 0° and to it was added 25.3 g. (0.334 mole) of carbon disulfide. A solid separated spontaneously. The mixture was stirred at room temperature for 1 hour, and then filtered. The solid was triturated first with 100 ml of ether and then with 100 ml of benzene and dried to give 43.5 g. (74% yield) of N,N-dibenzyldithiocarbamic acid sodium salt, mp 260°.
